Field to Table’s mission is to provide the freshest, highest quality menus through a culinary program focused on locally sourced, seasonal ingredients. We have partnered with the local farming community to collaborate on our menu development and ensure access to the freshest, most flavorful products picked at their peak for each and every event. Locally sourced, seasonal ingredients result in intense flavor profiles and food the way it was meant to taste. Add exquisite preparation, exceptional service and a high level of attention to detail and your next special event will be as unique as the world class location in which it is held.

Field to Table has implemented a broad based environmental operating plan that touches every aspect of our food service and aligns with The Field Museum’s sustainable plan that is used in the museum's restaurants. From sourcing the majority of our ingredients within the five states bordering Illinois, to ensuring our disposable wares are compostable, to utilizing environmentally safe cleaning products post-event, Field to Table has worked within The Field Museum's sustainable programs guidelines. This ensures that each event’s “environmental footprint” is kept to a minimum. Ask your consultant about ways that you can assist in our efforts.
